This year the football team started out with high hopes of a successful season, but numerous injuries to key players eradicated that hope. Team spirit prevailed, however, throughout the somewhat discouraging season. Highlights of the season were the victory over arch rival North, 21-6, and the defeat of East, 31-12, end- ing the season on a note of success. Seniors controlled most of the key positions. Co-captains Greg Wright, tackle, and Bud Jenkins, guard, secured berths on the all- city squad. George Rutan, quarter- back, when not injured, also did an exceptional job as did John Keir, tackle, and Ken Kaeser, guard. The team ended with a league record of 4 wins-5 losses and an overall record of 5 wins and 6 losses. ul? I' '.':T,'7 ,. -z-1' -J? ,. - 7- fa zz ' mnvlam g L x F0 as f 6904- ii Q ' ,xc-rSf'U4.

The Homecoming Dance, seen from the faculty parking lot, topped Homecoming activity. Homecoming Court from left to right, Teri Edgar, Cathy Pasco, Linda Zartman, Lynne Penwell, and Janet Robbins. - Homecoming activities began with the coming of October. The senior class chose the Top Ten candidates during the first week of that month, the following week the student body selected its choices. For these five girls, the re- mainder of the week was spent in writing speeches, rehearsing for the game and dance, and anticipat- ing the big evening. Pre-game activities were cli- maxed as Linda Zartman was crowned 1966 Homecoming Queen. The Braves fought hard only to lose to Central, 6-3, in the last few moments of the game. However, high spirits prevailed at the dance immediately following the game, where Queen Linda and her court were guests of honor.

Wonder if it's worth it. . it must be. Two miles, here we come. Hey, it's cold out here. Wish he'd fire the gun. Finally. I hate the first 200 yards or so, it's just like a sprint. What a lot of guys! must be around 75. Let's see: eleven teams, seven guys each-yeah, 77. Wonder where I'll be at the finish. Time to move up. About a quarter mile gone, sixth place. Good. Here come the creek and that bridge. Gotta keep pushing it, keep relaxed. Third place nowg it's starting to hurt. Wonder how the rest of the team's doing. Oh well, no time to help them now. Let's see, the mile mark's coming, I'll try to keep this pace till I hear my mile time. Those golfers are looking at us, sure wish I were playing golf. Can't complain. Now to get that guy in second. Here goes. Even, but he won't let me go around. I'm tired, but I won't let him know it! Gotta keep pushing it! When is he going to fade? or will I fade first? We'll know soon. I wonder about that theory of mind over matter in running. Sounds logical, but- Whoa! don't daydream! Caught up with that guy again. I'd better watch it. This is really a pretty nice place to run, if running can be nice. Anyone coming up behind me? Better worry about this guy beside me first. I'm glad the sun's out. Pat Meyer, Cross Country captain What if it were snowing? Thatls so funny, I'd laugh if I could. When's this guy gonna give up? Better pull myself together now -about a half mile left. I'm hurt- ing, but I've felt worse. He looks about like I feel, but I think I'm better. Now, if I can cross that darn creek and get up the little hill without falling apart, I'm going to leave this guy! Or maybe, I should just make a deal with him. That's another funny one. There's the creek, the hill, I hate this part. Well, here goes. Push it. Good. I'rn around him, but he isn't giving up. It's hard to be- lieve, 77 guys from Columbus and me in second place. Wow! Quarter of a mile left and he's got at least 175 yards on me. Better worry about second. Start giving it more. Stride, relax. But faster. It hurts. My legs and my lungs are on fire. Wonder if it's worth it. No time to ask that question nowg it must be. I'm just happy to know that a Whetstone jersey's gonna finish, with me in it, in second . . . I hope. Wish it could be first. Here's the last straightaway. Nobody's gonna catch me! Now spring! Everything! Don't hold anything back! There's that line. Closer. I can't hear anyone behind me. Keep kicking - hurry - few more seconds-keep going! I can hear him now: . . . 10:27, 10:28, 1 0:29 - it's over! 13' j 'xi-'.i.. 'R ,K 4,5 , 1. ff?
